Dayparts are how media buyers slice the twenty-four-hour clock for planning, buying, and reporting. The traditional broadcast dayparts, early morning (6-9), daytime (9-4), prime-access (4-7), primetime (7-11), late-fringe (11-1), overnight (1-6), were built around television viewing patterns. Modern DOOH and bar TV media adopt similar splits but adjust for venue context.
In Highfloor's bar TV network the practical dayparts are: lunch (11-2), early happy hour (4-7), late happy hour (7-10), primetime sports window (varies by season and league, Sunday afternoon NFL, Monday/Thursday/Sunday primetime NFL, weeknight NBA/MLB), late-fringe (10-1), late-night (1, close where applicable). Sports calendars overlay daypart planning in markets where the audience is heavily indexed to sports, Phoenix and Boston both run sports-weighted daypart strategies as a default.
Daypart strategy for bar TV is one of the most important campaign-design decisions. The same venue performs very differently across dayparts: a sports bar at Sunday 1 p.m. delivers a different audience composition and density than the same bar at Tuesday 11 p.m. Highfloor builds the daypart weighting per flight against the brand's vertical and the metro's audience patterns.
